Official All-Star Weekend 2010 Thread

^worst i've seen

I thought DeRozan and Brown would be a lot better. I was really disappointed to see Nate win again, but he did have the best dunks overall. They need to do something to bring it back to life next year.

 

[snipezo]

Yeah that was kinda disappointing lol. I thought Cannon was gonna light it up. Glad to see Demar being a runner up though.

Nate shouldnt be the first 3 time winner...iggy was cheated out of a dunk contest.

Yeah I remember that Dunk Contest. Iggy by far had the best dunks.

Ranking All-Star Saturday night's pathetic dunk contest

By J.E. Skeets

1. DeMar DeRozan's(notes) Off-The-Side-Of-The-Backboard Windmill Oop (First round, second dunk): Hands down — and 10's up — the best dunk of Saturday Night. Is that saying much? No. But still, it was a nice remix of Dwight Howard's 2009 throwdown in Phoenix.

2. Nate Robinson's(notes) Off-The-Glass Reverse Pump (Finals, second round): For a guy 5-foot-9, Nate sure gets a lot of power out of his dunks. This one was the equivalent of Spud Webb meeting Harold "Baby Jordan" Miner in a bolwing alley. And oh, the celebratory pompons were a nice touch.

3. DeRozan's Thru-The-Legs Baseline Reverse (First round, first dunk): For approximately 30 seconds or so, the 2010 Dunk Contest looked pretty damn promising. "If I could turn back time ..." — Cher

4. DeRozan's Over-The-Sonny (Finals, first dunk): Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was an original dunk, right? Air Canada leaped Raptors teammate Sonny Weems(notes) — who checks in at a healthy 6-foot-6 — before crushin' the oop off the glass. Great timing. How in the world did DeRozan blow this comp? Read on.

5. Nate Robinson's Off-The-Bounce 270-ish (First round, second dunk): "C'mon, Gallo!"

6. Robinson's Off-The-Bounce, Two-Hand Windmill (First round, first dunk): An excellent first dunk, which would've scored higher had it not taken him three tries.

7. Shannon Brown's(notes) Sky High Oop (First round, second dunk): I can't believe I just ranked this as the seventh best dunk of the night. On behalf of the NBA, I'm sorry.

8. DeRozan's Two-Hand Windmill (Finals, second dunk): The Rook had this contest in the bag. All he had to do for his final dunk was throw something between the legs, maybe catch an oop from Weems, and the title was his. Instead, DeRozan took off from four-feet over the foul line and put a cap on one of the lamest dunk contests ever. Sigh.

9. Robinson's Off-The-Bounce, Two-Hander (Finals, first dunk): Nate really should've kept trying that between-the-legs monster from under the net. Well, that, or jumped over those four Cowboys cheerleaders.

10. Brown's Mid-Air Switch (First round, first dunk): Shannon! Why, oh why, didn't you take a few more cracks at that Terence Stansbury Statue of Liberty-like dunk you were attempting? Instead, you panicked, called an audible and, well, did something Larry Brown would've been ashamed of. Not cool.

11. Gerald Wallace's(notes) Off-The-Bounce, Um, Game Dunk (First round, second dunk): C'mon, be honest, you thought Bobcats assist-man Flip Murray(notes) was going to pull it back to shoot the three. (Note: He should've — it would've earned Wallace a much better score.)

12. Wallace's Lame Reverse Jackknife (First round, first dunk): Maybe the NBA should pick players that want to be in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. Just an idea.

LMAO^

Thats a pretty nice article though not gonna lie

 

[Mexi]

IDK about you guys but I want to see Amare back in this thing

not what he used to be

he's David West now....minus the D. i mean, DWest at least tries to play D sometimes, but thats beside the point. bottom line, amare would be awful in this now

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

DeRozan had 3 of the top 4 dunks, but he lost...and with that dunk he did for his final attempt, he deserved to lose.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Ugh it's sad that sometimes an ASW is defined by how the dunk contest was. LEt's hope for a great game tomorrow.

Regardless it's Dirk's game tomorrow <3

 

[Mexi]

Durant MVP

or if east wins, give it to DWade

 

[elcheato]

next year's All-star weekend in L.A. will make up for this year's
i cant wait

i'll be at all the practices and stuff. i learned my lesson from 04
in 04 i missed everything. i missed getting Kaman and Boozer's autographs by like 5 minutes

Probably will be worse

 

[RipCity32]

LA ASW = FAIL

 

[Mexi]

04 was great what are you guys talking about?

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

No more all star games in the west, damn.

 

[MR.ballin]

lol. I'm glad Nate won 3 times in a row . He didn't deserve it though. Hopfully Lebron participates next year like he said last year -_-

 

[The Young One]

[quote name='Big Bid'Ness' post='4230165' date='Feb 14 2010, 03:55 AM']No more all star games in the west, damn.[/quote]
Everybody agrees with that. Oh yeah East is gonna win tonight. Lebron will proably get mvp.

Exactly what I was going to say.

 

[elcheato]
